John Pienaar at the Latitude Festival talking tax, fashion and political comedy.

We talk tax with Bombay Bicycle Club - Jack Steadman says those who use loopholes to reduce their bill are 'disgusting'. Plus Vivienne Westwood, Mark Steel and Marcus Brigstocke.

Pienaar's Politics comes from the Latitude Festival in Suffolk ahead of the summer recess. The lead singer of the Bombay Bicycle Club Jack Steadman accuses musicians who've used loopholes to reduce their tax bill as '' disgusting'' as festival goers urge the government to change the law, fast. Comedians Mark Steel and Marcus Brigstocke give their views on Ed Miliband, Michael Gove losing his education secretary post, and the new women in the cabinet. And Vivienne Westwood  says she doesn't care what politicians wear - she expects them to work hard for the constituents and make laws that make the country better for everyone - not the select few. Plus poet Roger McGough on the battle to become leader - then not knowing how to best use your power.
